Boston Station to Split Up Anchors (Patreon)

Insiders at WFXT in Boston tell FTVLive that the station has made some changes to try and keep the staff safer and less chance for the spread of the coronavirus. 

Word is that editorial meetings are now via email and conference call not in a group environment. 

We also hear that Reporters and Photographers are being assigned as a team and the two will continue to work together. In other words, the same Reporter and the same Photographer will stay assigned to each other for the foreseeable future. 

Also, the station has asked non-essential employees to stay or work from home. 

One insider says that it is tough for the station since they are very short on Producers, adding, “So the toll of delivering all the information to the people is getting even more challenging.”

The station will also break up the anchor teams when it comes to distance. 

Here is the internal email that Boston 25 News Director Sarah Burgess sent to the staff and it was obtained by FTVLive:
